Just Rite Font Hop

Welcome to another stop on the JustRite Font Mega Blog Hop today! I am one of the lucky participants (there are 54 altogether!) to get to show you some more fun ideas using all the great fonts available from JustRite Stampers! And in conjunction with this Blog Hop, JustRite is celebrating with a Super 7 Day Font Sale! Take 30% off all the JustRite Font sets, and the horizontal and vertical stampers! This sale begins today and ends on September 24th.

For my projects today, I have chosen to use the Curlz Uppercase Font set. My first project is something that was completely inspired by Ms. Fabulous, Sharon Johnson! Sharon posted a spectacular Christmas project at this time last year on the Just Rite blog that I have always loved, so I adapted my own version of it for Thanksgiving, using the Curlz 95 pt. font to spell out "GIVE THANKS". Each letter was stamped on Natural Ivory cardstock with Versamark and Rhubarb Stalk Memento ink, then clear embossed. My panels are all covered with the new Indian Summer paper from Basic Grey and I've accessorized with some Zva felt flowers, a stamped pumpkin, and stamped leaves from Melanie Muenchinger's new "A Year of Leaves" stamp set. Some jumbo eyelets, buttons, brads and ribbon finished off my project!

To create the accordian-fold panels, I cut 2 pieces of cardstock 3 1/2" x 9" and one piece of cardstock 3 1/2" x 8". Then each piece was scored using a Scor-Pal at 2" intervals, flipping the cardstock with each score.I'm so pleased to be able to display this with all my other Fall decorations! Many thanks for Sharon for her awesome inspiration!For my second project, I created something that's a little play on words. At the end of next month, we'll be hearing the words "Trick or Treat!" a lot! So I decided to create a "Treats for Tricks" jar for our family dog! This is going to look so great on my kitchen counter with some other Halloween decor! And Dexter is such a good dog, so he deserves some treats!

I again used the Curlz Uppercase Font set, this time using the smallest font, the 25 pt. to create the sentiment around the border "Treats for Tricks" and on the lid of the jar. I used some new Bo Bunny Halloween papers for my jar with matching buttons, my Nestabilities, and some ribbon from Creative Impressions.

Both of these projects are fantastic, Tammy! I am seriously going to CASE that Give Thanks project and Dexter is going to love his treats--that jar is going to look to awesome on your counter! Great projects!!

WOW Tammy, these are both fantastic projects! I LOVE your Give Thanks project...gosh, that's just absolutely LOVELY!Dexter's treat jar is adorable! I think I may have to CASE you on that one...such a fabulous idea! Thanks for sharing your awesome talent!Hugs,Lisa

I love both projects, but especially the Give Thanks. I remember the Christmas one from last year and loved that too. I'm going to "copy" your give thanks for a thanks for having us to dinner gift. Love it...

OMGosh girl ... no wonder I don' hear from you anymore!!! This accordian card would take me till next Thanksgiving season to complete! Wonderfully creative card and I just LOVE Dexter's personally Tricks for Treats jar! He's going to be so happy to see his goodies all fancied up!!! VERY CLEVER!!! Almost makes me wish I had a dog ... ALMOST!!! LOL!!!

Two cute! Tee hee. Give Thanks will be seen on my mantle soon!My poor Tessa has her treats in a plastic container. I won't show her what Dexter has. That way she won't whine about the cute container.Sharon L

I really love that Curlz uppercase font on both of these projects that are so different in style. My daughter lost a couple of her letters for her Christmas letters that are made out of wood, but by making them into an accordian fold, she won't be able to lose any of these letters. My other daughter is a dog trainer, so this treat jar would be a perfect gift for her clients. I love it when I can get so many Christmas gift ideas out of one blog!ideas

You are amazing, Tammy! Your creativity knows no bounds. I absolutely LOVE your two projects!! Now, should I try and make my own Thanksgiving accordian card or should I ask you to do it??? LOL! Beautiful work!!!

LOL ~ I love the DOG Treats for Halloween! My dog would have known the jar was for her, and be looking for me to hand out her treat many times a day... I think the folded project is cool too. Would work great for a display in a baby's room with their name on it. TFS your great creations.
